Hey Luke, this was a total eyeopener. My windows are clean clean clean, especially the inside where I would struggle with fog and streaks I now use the 50/50 on all my window surfaces in the house, and its brilliant. Thank you for the amazing content of your videos.
Thank you so much. Your video helped me out in ways you wont understand. I struggled with oily window streaks inside the car on the windscreen and when driving in the afternoon or early morning and the sun shown directly onto the widscreen it made it a nightmare to see. Tried using windowline or other window cleaners as you mentioned and they too didnt work. I definitely will subscribe to your videos after seeing for myself that this really does work. And using latex gloves helped prevent me from making other marks again while cleaning. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
Great video!! 👌 I know this is about car windows but You are the first person I have everrrrrrr say this about micro fiber towels! This is so true! I also have ladies who clean my home and they insist on dusting with micro towels but as you said once they have been used and washed a couple times all they do is leave behind fibers and dust.
For quite a while I have been trying to figure out how to get my windows clean without all the streaks in it. I ran across your video and it will give it a try. Thank you for sharing I’ll let you know how it works out
Dude. You totally nailed this topic. I've just watched about every relevant pro detailer that has a TH-cam channel and none of them talk about IPA as the prep degreaser. None of them. You were the only one. I had to specifically search for "degrease car window with IPA" in order to find this. I've been looking for a better window cleaning solution, and it's been bugging me for the past few days... why we use IPA as a solvent to remove other oily residues, but I've never heard it recommended as a first step, or only step for cleaning oily films off windows. So, I searched TH-cam specifically for this and Bam! There's your video. Thanks a bunch for confirming my intuition! Great content.
I can't believe I just found this. I'm a D.I.Y. car detailer.(I do my own cars & trucks, I also do my wife's car) & I like to know what works best & why. I love that these points are explained 'simply' to me. I've got alot more videos to watch, I just subscribed!
this method offered up by Wilson Auto Detailing worked AWESOME!!! I had the WORST film on my inside windshield from defrost/auto body repair, and couldn't get the film off at all! made it so visibility in sun-glare was 0! Wilson's method was the key! follow the easy steps to the T... and you will not be disappointed!
I use both the Meguiars and the Invisible Glass. I have used the Invisible Glass for years and I prefer the Meguiars now. To me, it just makes the glass seem cleaner. I have to try the magic eraser trick. I have the haze that seems to show up the next morning after a detail. Here in FL. the windshields tend to haze fast! Thanks Luke...
Did a 1 window test on my truck.maybe it was to hot(middle tn 8/1) .IPA streaked ..but elbow grease and a couple reapps worked pretty good.if anything i learned a prep is required .did the 50/50 ipa prior to window cleaner.thanx dude,cheap clean...
In the past I have typically used water or water with some ammonia and for drying I would use newspaper. Newspaper has been really good for me as far as taking off streaks but… I still occasionally do have streaks. Thank you for your video, I am going to definitely try some of your suggestions.
Appreciate the video. I would be concerned about rubbing alcohol mist or drips on any part of the interior. But you didn’t mention it so I guess you never had a problem with it
So on some vehicles it can be a major issue. Some Ford trucks and particularly the 2017 Honda HRV. I recently was detailing a customers car the the isopropyl alcohol bleached the black dash gray. Luckily I have business insurance but it could have cost me around $2300 to fix it. Just be cautious and test on a small area of the dash first
Try this method for inner windshield. Mix up a solution of ONR and distilled water in a stainless steel mixing bowl. Dunk in a magic eraser. Squeeze out most of the liquid and wipe down glass. Then wipe off with a glass microfiber towel, then one more time with a new clean microfibre glass towel. The ONR really worked great.
Like your honesty about not having to go any farther than distilled water and alcohol if desired, as well as microfiber towels for glass instead of Huck towels. Do like the Huck towels however... Thx, new subscriber.
!!!!!!!WARNING!!!!!! Yes this is the best method I’ve ever used BUT After using this method for the last 2 years with no issues, I had a big problem. I was detailing a 2017 Honda HRV and when I was cleaning the windows I got a little bit of overspray on the black dash and the isopropyl alcohol turned the dash light gray. The cost to fix this is around $2300. Luckily my insurance will cover some of it but still be careful with this method and test in a small area of the dash.
CORONA-19 is going on now in Sept of 2020. I have looked high and low for a bottle of 91 isopropyl alcohol and can't find it anywhere. Only thing I've been able to find is 70% alcohol prep pads . Is this just as good? I also have the Magic Eraser.
Watching ChrixFx, he taught me to use a magic eraser and some hot water/dawn then Stoner glass cleaner. Wipe only one way inside vs outside. I never even thought about what you say in this video but was just telling someone at work that my dad taught me to clean his show muscle cars when I little...method? Crumpled newspaper and alcohol then glass cleaner from the dealership. Alcohol is an excellent cleaner and diluting it makes total sense! Thank you
The film inside of your windshield is not dirt, rather it is chemicals ooff-gassed from the plastics in your car. Cleaning the inside of the windshield needs something that can cut through the film and not hurt the dashboard. Apologies for posting thrice. I replied to someone but I can't find my reply.
I think a lot of fog happens when someone is a smoker as in me I smoke in my truck very rarely only long road trips or things like this but after the trip you definitely can see the fog smog on the windshield on the inside and if it is foggy outside you best believe it Will definitely fog my windshield
So will windex mar or mess up tinted windows or glass windows at all it’s what I heard from a lot of different people just wanted you to cover it if possible
Luke…what are the multiple tiny specks that can be seen on car’s windshield, particular when sun is shining directly on the windshield and what is best method of removing these specks.
I just followed your steps and they are ok, but not great! Personally, I think only you guys that detail can get windows of cars clean on the inside. Therefore, thanks for the video and I’ll be calling my detail shop. Bummed here in Oregon 😳😂😳🙃🙃🙃🙃
I stumbled onto 50/50 solution when researching prepping my paint for ceramic coating. I started experimenting with it on windows and was amazed how it works out. As always windows need to be cool and shaded m, out of the sun when cleaning.
Great video from someone who has a real eye for detail! Do you have a recommendation for getting those microfibers off? I used a microfiber a few times and they are difficult to remove.
Hey Wilson thanks for the videos. I ve tried many glass cleaning products, stoner, alchimy7, meguiar... with a lot of good quality special glass microfiber using the 2 microfiber techniques, one to clean, one to dry. Despite this, absolutely every products made the windsheld and back rear window more foggy when the weather is bad. I gave up on using products and washed my car glass with water and newspaper for some month, it did the job quite good and the fog in winter was decent, it left quickly as usual with air conditioner, while when i was using stoner or other the fog took much more time to leave. Using water with a little bit of dishwash and vinegar gave good results too but the odor of vinegar annoyed me inside. I watched many videos and tried the magic eraser, i didn't know it was that effective. I apply the magic eraser, clean with the mf and dry with another mf, i don't add other product and the result is satisfying. I repeat the process on all windows of my car with different mf outside and inside (windows, windshield, back rear). Is it ok to use microfiber and magical eraser on rear windows (inside and outside) and on the 3 mirrors ? It seems until now i haven't scratched anything. Thanks man
Luke, have you ever tried using denatured alcohol instead of rubbing alcohol? It works really well too. Another area that seems to get neglected is that little area of glass that gets tucked up under the top of the window seal. Its usually only about 3/8" but it sometimes forms a line of crud between clean and dirty. I sometimes crack the window a bit and try to clean it away. Anyways, another great video. Have a great day...
I have never tried denatured alcohol but I guess I'll have to! And yes cracking the window to clean that area is a great trick! I love it! Thanks so much for being involved!
Yeah I was cleaning my windows today and got to driving home and rolling the windows down and saw that and wanted to be mad but then I realized I was the one that cleaned it 😂 so yes very good advice
The Mr. Clean magic eraser must be amazing, it's in almost all window cleaning videos. I just ordered a box from Amazon, the inside of my front windshield is dangerously fogged.
Question, I'm trying to figure out how to clean my door windows. After I wipe them down 2 things happen which is frustrating. One, the top inch or two of the window gets dirty from the rubber seal at the top of window and two, I get streaks on both the inside and outside of the window from the bottom window seal. How can I prevent this from happening?
@Wilson Auto Detailing Hi, What is better from your experience for Interior car windows, Magic Eraser sponge or clay bar? Also , For exterior what is better solution clay or eraser and for water spots marks too? Thanks
I heard that the best way to make you windows super clean you need to wash it, and then apply clay bar, and wax it then you spray window cleaner is that true?
I have a question about cleaning the door windows. Maybe a week or two after I wash my car, I get streaks on the inside of the window. I'm thinking it's probably dirty inside the rubber weather strip where the window rolls through. If that is what you also think, how do I go about cleaning this so this does not keep happening? Btw, I like all of your videos that I've watched already. I've always wanted to get into auto detailing at least for my personal vehicles and possibly beginning to make some extra side cash.
Used microfiber better than new for lint remnants? That’s odd as as my experience has always been the exact opposite. Matter of fact o typically wash new ones before using them just to get rid of the loose material
Show me how to clean windows in direct sunlight. Detailing windows has been better for me as I started using a glass specific towels but fuck that flash dry kills me
Help... I was using Mgguires all purpose and didn't wipe down all the over spray... I didn't really notice because it was getting dark. Then I parked the car outside in the sun. The next day I went to finish the job and I can't get the chemical off... I tried magic eraser... I tried scrubbing... Help!
Hey luke, I tried your method using the huck towels and no longer deal with lint, I went from using normal microfiber and even glass specific microfiber towels with a short nap and every single time I go to buff the windows it would leave tiny pieces of lint behind and almost gave up on it. I always wash the microfibers separately and leave to hang dry with same results time after time with lint on windows so thanks so much for introducing me to these huck towels. Do you also use the huck towels on outer windows?
Hey Sean that is amazing!!!! I totally feel your pain! I used to get so frustrated! I normally just use meguiars x wax and a waxing microfiber towel for outer windows, and I do not know why but for the outer windows it just doesnt leave lint! Crazy right?! maybe it has something to do with using wax instead of window shine
I would try degreaser and steamer first. And eventually if I had to I would work up to a magic eraser and products like rapid remover but you’ve got to be really really careful or you will discolor that specific spot that the residue is on
Hey luke, its me again!! i was wondering if after using the distilled water alcohol solution to clean would it be a good idea to finish the inner windows with synthetic xwax to seal the windows so that they will be easier to clean next time?
So using a window cleaner such as Rain-X isn't really cleaning my windows? Would I be better off with using the alcohol/distilled water solution to clean off the oils and streaks for the interior and then finish it up with meguairs x-press spray wax for the inside of the windows? I was thinking for the exterior,I might try using a claybar and then use the x-press spray wax
I wish I saw this video 40yrs ago LOL. Cleaning interior windows drives me crazy. Today I'm making up the 50/50 and cleaning my windows.
Great to have someone explain and solved the problem of detailing cars without spending all your moneys not knowing what products works. Thank you.
That’s what I’m here for! Thanks so much!
When I was sitting hand-cuffed in the back of a police car - I often wondered how they got their car windows so damn clean. Damn - thanks dude!
hahahahahahahha youre killin me, thats hilarious
😂😂😂
I believe if I was hand cuffed in the back of a police car, the last thing I would wonder about would be how damned clean the windows are!! roflmao.

Tip for you...you can also use 50/50 alcohol water mixture on an icy windshield.... Melts ice quickly, No more scraping...liked the video...good job!
Awesome idea! Thanks for sharing. I'm totally going to use it this winter.
2/3 alcohol 1/3 water

My apologies it you already addressed this...

Great video from someone who has a real eye for detail! Do you have a recommendation for getting those microfibers off? I used a microfiber a few times and they are difficult to remove.
Thanks for this! I, too, appreciate Invisible Glass. Would you mind sharing what percentage rubbing alcohol you suggest? 99% is getting hard to find.
Amazon has gallons of it...was around $45 back in March when covid hit
Do I have this problem because it's a very old windshield window it's from a 1990 Toyota camery.
Thanks, Luke. I hate cleaning the interior glass of my C8. Do you have any tips or ideas? The front glass is deep and long!

Is the alcohol distilled water mix safe on tint?
How do I remove the haze off the interior windows that doesn't want to go away 😕
Just ordered two sets of Hucks from your link. Thanks for the info.
Thanks works just like you said !👍🏽
What about tinted windows? Won't the alcohol damage them?
How do you clean the felt and rubber window guides? Getting vertical streaks rolling the window.
glad to watched this bro..gonna try soon.
Really nice information 👌
is this method with the eraser safe on tinted windows?
The Mr. Clean magic eraser must be amazing, it's in almost all window cleaning videos. I just ordered a box from Amazon, the inside of my front windshield is dangerously fogged.

What kind of % rubbing alcohol do you use?
I'd like to see all the equipment, and products you use, how you carry it.
Yessir! Totally will do a video about that!
@Wilson Auto Detailing
Hi,
What is better from your experience for Interior car windows, Magic Eraser sponge or clay bar? Also , For exterior what is better solution clay or eraser and for water spots marks too? Thanks
Does the alcohol/distilled water have any detrimental affect on sun screen application as comes from the factory?
What would you use if the interior window's have after market tint on them? Thanks
Same thing!
Gonna test this out and see how it goes....
Can you give some tips and secrets on cleaning car interior windows with tint?
Following
I heard that the best way to make you windows super clean you need to wash it, and then apply clay bar, and wax it then you spray window cleaner is that true?
Junior Sandoval if you apply a spray wax to the window than there is definitely no need to follow with anything else like a window shine 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
What about the window rubber seals? wont the alcohol dry them out/.?
Awesome Luke thanks
He should write a book how to clean windows Lol
hahahaha you think so!!!
Luke great video if the distilled water has Isopropyl in it is that OK to use with your 50-50 mix
Yes that will be fine!
How much pressure to you apply when using the Magic Eraser?
As per instructions on microfiber towels, only wash with liquid detergent and air dry only.
Air dry is certainly ideal but just not realistic in a professional detailers world, the time that would take is just unrealistic
Can you use this method on the exterior as well?
I have a question about cleaning the door windows. Maybe a week or two after I wash my car, I get streaks on the inside of the window. I'm thinking it's probably dirty inside the rubber weather strip where the window rolls through. If that is what you also think, how do I go about cleaning this so this does not keep happening? Btw, I like all of your videos that I've watched already. I've always wanted to get into auto detailing at least for my personal vehicles and possibly beginning to make some extra side cash.
Luke... Do you roll the window down a little bit first to get the very top of the window then roll it up and get the rest?
Yep!
@@wilsonautodetailing ok. I see a lot of detailers miss that step along with rolling the tires when they clean the tires
Used microfiber better than new for lint remnants? That’s odd as as my experience has always been the exact opposite. Matter of fact o typically wash new ones before using them just to get rid of the loose material
Show me how to clean windows in direct sunlight. Detailing windows has been better for me as I started using a glass specific towels but fuck that flash dry kills me
Great vid thank you! do you ever use x-press wax for interior windows like we do for external?
Ken Lawton you definitely could but I don't ever do that, but certainly you could. And x wax is great for finishing interior surfaces!
Do you clean the very top of glass first or last?
Help... I was using Mgguires all purpose and didn't wipe down all the over spray... I didn't really notice because it was getting dark. Then I parked the car outside in the sun. The next day I went to finish the job and I can't get the chemical off... I tried magic eraser... I tried scrubbing... Help!
Hey Luke. Would this be ok on tinted windows? Gonna get them done on my car and I don’t wanna screw this up lol
Can I use alcohol and distilled water on tinted windows? Also can I use clay on tinted windows?
can’t you do the exterior window the same as interior? ie claybar then synthetic wax?
Is that 50/50 solution tint safe??
Hey Luke do you use purple power to clean the interior such as the leather seats, the plastic etc? If not what do you recommend? Thanks
I reccomend super clean!!! Thats my go to when I dont reach for my APC
Sprayway is the best glass cleaner, better than invisible glass
Hey luke, I tried your method using the huck towels and no longer deal with lint, I went from using normal microfiber and even glass specific microfiber towels with a short nap and every single time I go to buff the windows it would leave tiny pieces of lint behind and almost gave up on it.

Crazy right?! maybe it has something to do with using wax instead of window shine
What would you suggest to remove duct tape residue off dashboard. Person used to hold down dashcover. Now removed it wants me to remove. Thank you
I would try degreaser and steamer first. And eventually if I had to I would work up to a magic eraser and products like rapid remover but you’ve got to be really really careful or you will discolor that specific spot that the residue is on
Luke any issues with getting over spray of the alcohol/water solution onto say a black door panel?
never1
Hey luke, its me again!! i was wondering if after using the distilled water alcohol solution to clean would it be a good idea to finish the inner windows with synthetic xwax to seal the windows so that they will be easier to clean next time?
Actually I do that sometimes!!! Very good idea!
So using a window cleaner such as Rain-X isn't really cleaning my windows? Would I be better off with using the alcohol/distilled water solution to clean off the oils and streaks for the interior and then finish it up with meguairs x-press spray wax for the inside of the windows? I was thinking for the exterior,I might try using a claybar and then use the x-press spray wax
Yes I would do exactly that actually!! Throw the rain x away!
Can I do the same for exterior?
Luke, what do you think about Maguires Glass cleaner (D12001) as a product? Do you think it’s a good product to use?
Definitely is!!!
I hate doing windows. Mostly it’s because I don’t like the smell of any window cleaners.
Tx
What's the best way to care for the "Huck" towels?
Wash just like you would with anything! Actually I think the more you wash the better because hey soften up a little, and they’re not as stiff
What about cleaning windows that are tinted? Can we do the same as the outside?
Do not use Magic Eraser on tint.
